I've always been a big fan of comics. I think you can do things, storytelling wise, with words and pictures that you can't do with any other medium.
This morning I stumbled upon a series of comic strips telling true stories from the aftermath of the terrible earthquake in China earlier this month.
If you get a chance, give the strips a read. They're really touching and sad. Then afterwards maybe say a prayer for the people of China - or check out the page the Red Cross has set up to see if you can help in some way.
Quick note - I didn't look around the site the comic strips are hosted on. I have no idea what content might be on the other side of any links you click beyond the earthquake stuff. I have no reason to think it might be objectionable, but be just click carefully.

I've been privileged to visit many countries and these comics remind me what I continue to observe... there is a vast difference between the people of a country and the government.
It is very easy to miss the life storeies behind such tragedy and focus only on the overarching media coverage. Thank You for the link and the opportunity to celebrate the bravery and courage of so many people.
